All of my media is on my external card, so that was safe. It was an annoying setback, but I'm good now thanks to Titanium Backup and your great thread.

Can I do a nandroid If I just have root installed? I know I did one before--does it require the CWM boot card?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, you need the CWM boot card. That is what makes the backup.

If you have root, then you have the CWM card. Unless you formatted right after flashing the root zip.

I've gone through every guide I could find for rooting my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

I followed the guide in the official XDA thread, and I even followed this excellent guide posted by ShinTenKen here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1841107&page=2 - But cannot get proper root access.

My GT currently has Clockwork Mod recover, ver. 6.0.0.8. This is the only version that will actually see my internal SD storage to run the zip files I've placed there.

I have the GT7+ root.zip file on my SD root, and I can access it through CWM, and everything appears to go well, but upon reboot, I fire up RootChecker and it says that I do not have root access.

I also tried to run Tegrak overclock and it also confirms that there is no root access.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.

I have followed this guide.

Using the temp CWM, I am unable to browse the SD to launch root.zip.

If I use the current version of CWM that I have permanently on my tab (6.0.8.0) I can follow this guide, access root.zip on my SD and run it, but I still do not get root access. I don't even get errors. Everything looks good, but a check of my root status comes back negative.

Kinda crazy.

With stock ICS 4.0.4, load CWM.zip from recovery. This is the temporary, touch screen enabled CWM. meaning, you can drag the options up and down and tap to select.

select the root.zip to flash, then also flash the p62_cwmr_20111214.zip file.

that's the old 5.0.xx version of CWM. Flash the latest one later, after you have ensure proper root.

BTW, most cwm version point the "internal sd" as your sd card. :p

good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] archa1c:
Thanks for the awesome reply.

I'll give this a try shortly.

I've been through these steps before, and for some reason the touch-based CWM was unable to see the root file structure (only sees a "\clockworkmod" directory)

Would this still work if I placed the root.zip on the micro sd expansion card?

I'm rooted! Here's how:

- I followed your steps using the files you linked above.

- I ran into the same issue of not being able to see the zip files that I placed on the root of my SD card.

- Reconnected my SD storage to my PC and created a directory on the root, then placed root.zip, CWM.zip and the CWMR zip in that directory.

- Upon booting my tab into CWM again, I was able to see the new directory I created, and navigate to the root.zip to run it.

- After running root.zip, I rebooted and ran the Root Checker app (from the Play Store) and it verified that I have root access.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond on such a relatively old topic! If I could "Thank" you 100x I would.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lugaidster:
My Atrix got it's case cracked and the touch-screen display died, and given I already got a replacement phone I feel a bit adventurous. I wanted to see if I could build my own computer with what remains, so I wanted to run Linux natively (no Android). Given that there's a Linux 4 Tegra from Nvidia:

Is there a chance that I could build my own distro based on that?

Should I use another kernel (like the one currently used in gingerbread or CM7)?

Please note that I'm not trying to do webtop.

I thought of building my own handheld with the Atrix, or what remains of it. So any tips on how to get started would be great.

Cheers!

"Android development" is in the description. I think they keep that forum just for Android-specific things, even though Android is just a flavor of linux.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lugaidster:
You're being way too literal. It's been used for all sorts of non-Android dev multiple times. Right now, Boot2Gecko is right there. The fact of the matter is that when it pertains to dev questions, this post would most likely be answered there. I'm pretty sure it'll die here on this forum with barely any useful answer, if at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
The development section is mostly for things that are "in progress", ie. with "something to show". Questions, discussions and ideas go elsewhere.

As for your question, I believe I've seen a thread about this already, and quite recently too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lugaidster:
I've checked a few that I've found on the forum, but most had no answer and were about other devices. With regards to the Atrix or the Tegra, I've only found threads about webtop.

Not to argue too much about this too much, but I've seen threads that started with nothing in the dev section. Like the Kernel porting project that started as a mere placeholder for the project. Point is, I've done my research and found no pointers to the questions I have. I made it in case another dev had an idea about it. I may have missed something, but that's why I asked in the first place. If I believed I had covered all grounds by myself, I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehjr:
What you're looking to do seems similar to this question: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2110161

The difference between the webtop and a stand alone installation of Linux won't be that different, mainly it would just be where on the device the OS is installed and how video is handled. That said, I'm not sure about the kernel, specifically the video drivers, since they're intended for Android and may not be compatible with X. AFAIK, Wayland is closer to Android than X is, but Wayland isn't quite ready.

Anyway, assuming you did succeed, what you would end up with would be less like a true desktop (as you'd be pretty much locked into a specific kernel, and therefor any packages limited by it, but it doesn't invalidate the effort), and more like a persistent live CD, since the OS would be installed to an area mounted as read-only (to prevent flash wear), with access to an area that has read/write access, like in Android where you store apps and user files. Overall, it could be fun if you enjoy a challenge and aren't intimidated by soldering and using the JTAG connector.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lugaidster:
Actually, I might have to do soldering anyway. I'm not really intimidated by it and don't really care all that much for phone functionality and such. I'm not even interested all that much in X as my project is more towards transforming it into a handheld gaming (more like emu) device. I don't mind compiling software specifically for the system. The question is pretty low-level in that regard for me. I want to know if I have to do anything with regards to the kernel since it's specific to Android. Given that most emus I know that would run acceptably in a tegra 2 don't really need the GPU, I don't mind just using framebuffer so HW doesn't really interest me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehjr:
Unfortunately, it's going to be one of those areas where you'll have to make an educated guess, since as far as we know, no one has successfully pulled off a straight Linux implementation on the device.

That said, nVidia does have both Android and Linux images for the Ventana dev kit, so it should be possible. In my case, I would compare the source code for their Linux kernel vs the stock Linux kernel vs their closest Android kernel vs the stock Android kernel. The biggest thing is how the the device specific files translate from one kernel to another, because you'll likely need to translate the device specific files for the Atrix in the same manner. The changes may be subtle or they may be drastic. The main thing is to just be able to set the pins properly so you don't release any "magic smoke". Unfortunately, I see no source code for any of nVidia's kernels.

Anyway, that's how I would do it, but I do suspect that someone with more knowledge could find a much simpler approach and hopefully they'll chime in, but this part of the forums isn't the thriving hub of activity it used to be, so I don't know if that will happen any time soon or at all.

Since the software is windows based, I cannot install it in android. Remote Desktop is an alternative to access my home computer for the software functionarity. The missing link is the serial connection of the device. In desktop version of RDP, many app allow redirection of both parallel and serial port. Yet I did not see any RDP app implementaion. Are there any known solution or where to start my own compilation?

So let me start off by saying that I haven't root this device, and that's what I mean by breathing in some new life into the phone. I'm also using this as a "testing" opportunity to root. Seeing as how I've never rooted I'd like to gain the confidence and experience to later root my Nexus 4 and 7.

While I contemplated not making this post, I decided to go through with it because when I tried the "[HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM" it did not work, I got an error, and googling made it even more overwhelming, when I read things like, "you can't root unless your in the old baseband, it'll brick if you're in the newest one." something about "ZV5" and "ZV9" and when I read the "gordita root" I decided not to got through with it because the information did not match.

So my question is simple and I'm sorry that it is, but can you direct me to a good guide to root this device. I did not know any information I should provide so I took a screenshot of it. Also, this phone is disconnected and I don't see myself connecting it in the near future... if that matters.

Since I'm new I can't post outside links until I've had 10 posts, so here is the url to the screen shot
